People keep asking me lots of questions about crypto currencies.. and its accelerating, so here are some quick notes.

I have suggested on this blog since 2010 that there is a good chance crypto will replace main stream financial system, and also in the longer run, the political and governance systems we use for managing countries and companies. These management concepts are out of date and are continuing to become more redundant as the world of crypto starts to bed in.

If governments ban it they close the door to what could fuel the next financial big industry. And we seem to have passed the point of that being tried out. Japan bit the bullet and jumped in, everyone is following.

The lines between Governments, Companies and Social networks are continuing to blur, they all become similar creatures. All are forms of human social network (or 'infostate' if you read my old blog posts). Governments are loosing their power over companies and countries. All projects can become part of a continuum of global organizations that represent human social groups with a vision to achieve a desired set of goals. Each will have its own crypto coin underpinning the value of that project, automatically creating global unregulated ability to exchange 'stock (crypto tokens) in all human projects.

The way into this world is bitcoin, this performs the duel role of being the base store of value as well as the gateway into it.

Note.. Bitcoin should be seen as a store of value, not a payment system (eg shopping on-line for a new pencil).. These are different things. There are plenty of other projects being built on Bitcoin that can do a better job as a payment system. Fees are setup on Bitcoin to discourage payments and speculation on it. Either wait for the lightning network that will run on Bitcoin or use something like Dash or Bcash for payments.

The below is to get someone started, there is so much more to crypto:

wallets:
-- prettiest wallet, less secure (it uses the same receive address which is not such a good idea, but ok for small funds) exodus.io
-- mainstream bitcoin wallet site and good security blockchain.info (think you can buy from them too but have not tested it)
-- upgrade to a hardware wallet for best security

how to get:
Play safe, get a bit every week or month.. ideally 'buy the dips' when the price dips as it often does, obviously dont play with what you cant loose.

-- easy to get small amounts is https://bittylicious.com/
-- people keep telling me the coinbase.com app is great and its good for getting/selling.
-- I think blockchain.info has added a way to buy too but not tested
-- buy from other punters localbitoins.com
-- Easy place for Euro in NL bitonic.com
-- For any real volume or trading goto proper exchanges

Info:
-- main eyeball site to watch to get to know the coins http://coinmarketcap.com
-- news site for getting more upto speed on them https://cointelegraph.com

Ideas:
-- Hold a split of coins.. stuff like bitcoin, dash, ether, gollum, monero and zcash are all interesting.. need to get bitcoin first, then its easy to move over.. exodus.io, the first wallet i suggested has built in multi crypto support so can exchange the coins they support.
-- Dash, monero, zcash have privacy features which is why some like them, obviously for something to succeed as a form of global money it would need this feature
-- Many services are moving to crypto but in each service there will only be one winner over time. This is the reason to hold a split and move between them as it becomes more clear who is winning.

Re Ether, Bitcoin:
-- Bitcoin is more a plain money thing, Ethereum is a global computer that you can run code on, they call that 'smart contracts' and many new services are being implemented on it. Bitcoin has the mainstream mind share and looks like it will hold the top card as a global store of value. Further changes are down to who integrates privacy first, which Ether has plans to do already (My old post on Ether Ethereum, Bitcoin 2.0 and Web 3.0)

-- Never leave coins with an exchange. Exchanges have been known to get hacked or die of mismanagement.. use an exchange to trade and use a wallet to store.

Types of wallet:

-- Coins always live in a blockchain (a network of data blocks stored by many computers on the Internet), the user holds the crypto keys to their coins that are on the blockchain.

-- There are three main types of wallet,
1. there are online wallets (the site never knows the keys or the funds as they encrypt the site eg blockchain.info
2. local apps that access the various blockchains eg exodus.io and jaxx.io
3. download and run the official app for a coin, this will download the blockchain onto your own computer and for stuff like bitcoin is many gigabytes of data.. This gives you the most control, but it can be wild west code (it its a new coin that has not had much testing) Also you can delete your keys and loose the funds if you screw up. goto the list at coinmarketcap.com to find the website of any coin and download the official local wallet
MSM press:
-- My first rule of crypto currency, the press is absolutely clueless on it, take all it says with a huge pinch of salt, most of it is plain wrong while some of it is just misleading. (This probably goes for most other subjects too)

Time to make an update to my thread on decentralization manifesting into our world though technology.

Since my Bitcoin Has No Competitors ? post in Feb 2013 about DOS attacks, I left Bitcoin as I had already talked about the implications of Bitcoin as a technology a number of years prior. Its all been fairly obvious stuff since then.

But if you dont know about Ethereum, a generalization of the core block chain technology (introduced through Bitcoin), its a good idea to be aware of what it offers and what is coming. Its also a great step toward creating a general purpose distributed crypto compute platform at the same time.

Regarding code generalizations, this is a common shape in technology evolution. I have seen often this shape of software trend. Even in my personal field of 3D graphics. I created some of the fastest 3D rendering code of the day. The RenderMorphics RealityLab system that sold to Microsoft to become Direct3D. Our 3D code was very specifically optimized for specific functions of rendering, that is how it did what it did so well. But over the period of a few years we developed general purpose shading compilers. We first did this as an experiment at RenderMorphics but it continued to be generalized and emerged in later years as shader compilers, these enabled the GPU. A general purpose computer for doing massively parallel simple tasks. Which just so happens to be great for graphics, but its great for many other things too.

Over in the world of distributed computing, Satoshi delivered the block chain using it to implement Bitcoin, a sort of digital implementation of gold due to its scarcity properties. The block chains arrival in bitcoin was the unveiling of what could now be done technologically from 2009 forward.

Ethereum delivers the full potential of block chain technology in a clean and functional general purpose computing platform.

Ethereum is an example of the natural generalization of a technology once it is well understood. This generalization signals the maturity of the technology. Again using the 3D analogy, 3D rendering could not be called mature until the shader languages first were generalized and then settled down enough for GPU's to be built. The block chain could not really go into all the other potentials it offers until the right and mature API came and sat on it.

As far as i have been able to tell so far, Ethereum has the required features done right to do the job required. So that means we now have a distributed computing API that the world can move to. An intermediary distributed compute system for the future internet/web to run on. For the software developer world on the font end, and the hardware world on the back/bottom end.

Ethereum has first mover advantage. There can be only one as they say.. and there only needs to be one, protocol for the next generation on the internet.

I am becoming more confident that can become both the Bitcoin 2.0 and more importantly Web 3.0.

(Note: using the term Web 3.0 is not fully accurate as Web really refers to the combo of a) internet back end for connectivity and storage b) A streamed interpreted graphical front end defined by the HTML protocol. Ethereum only covers the connectivity/store component of the next stage on the internet's evolution. The apps running on it can express their front ends with HTML, but they don't have to. For example a massively multiplayer online game could run on Ethereum and not use HTML at all.)

But in this sense what are we talking about in human terms when we say Web 3.0 ? Now that we can see what Web 3.0 actually is. Just like when we first saw bitcoin, (say money 2.0, or money done better), the financial and cultural ramifications became obvious (though only just beginning to play out) We can further now codify the world into which we are heading.

We now have a general purpose crypto compute platform readily available to everyone. This has world wide reach and can connect across the whole planet. As long as you have an internet connection (and even this is not so essential now with peering to other local connected nodes) Everyone has access to a fully democratized massively connected highly scaleable crypto secure computer.

I could talk about some of the things we are going to invent and how it will change our society. But some of my early blogs cover this already. The trend to decentralization was clear long before Bitcoin. But we did not yet know how it would be technically implemented, Bitcoin was a massive step in terms of that implementation. It was clear that block chains would be the way to run a distributed p2p system of the future. Ethereum has come along and provided the generalized version of what a bock chain can do for developers to use.. We have the next step already in place.

If you have not seen anything on Ethereum, this is a decent summary of some possibility.

For physical training, as well as chi gung and internal martial arts training, I have always liked to do some resistance training. Normally I do a mix of body weight workout (which I often combine with a more physical yoga set) and some weights like kettle bells, (I enjoy swinging them around and keeping my body springy and all connected).

Recently I found a new type of very hardcore resistance and cardio workout. Moving big rocks.

I started learning about rocks from Steven Stone, a great Scottish rock man who is also a well trained wrestler. He got me into the physical sport aspect of the thing.

Of course you need something to do with them or its all a bit pointless. I would not have taken it much further than building nice walls, steps and the stone circle (using the nicer stones we find)], until recently when I was researching natural building options to live in (such as yurts or other eco homes).

I found that the cost of buying one of these eco-structures, relative to what you actually get, did not make sense to me. So I decided to see if I could build a livable space from stuff that was just lying around or growing out of the ground, and figure out how practical it actually was.

From living in a yurt, I liked the idea of circular living spaces, I also enjoy how you really feel all the nature around you because of the thin walls. But I have also like living in mud buildings because of the unique feeling and the heat retention of the mud walls.. So I wanted to come up with something modular, but that could be built optionally either way. Added to this I wanted a design where could plug these round spaces together with other round spaces, allowing you to choose the type of round 'feeling' you wanted in each room.

I also wanted something that could be made out of components and taken down again relatively easily without any leaving any impact on the land.

Instead of thinking of a house as walls and making rooms inside it, I thought of making various rooms, with the same basic structural components, but with the option of using different materials within this structure to create the feeling you liked. These could then be connected with external paths, rope bridges or tunnels. A sort of house where the house is really the nature around you, and the rooms are interconnected spaces that are all part of the nature rather than isolated from it.

Anways, that's the idea I am playing with. So right now to test it all out, I am building two prototype versions, one on stilts up in the trees and one slightly bigger one on the ground.

All of this got me a good reason to move some bigger stones again. I did not want to make any sort of concrete foundation. It feels nasty to do that in the nature here. But I am happy to drop some rocks on the ground in a circle or two.

If you are going to build without concrete, you are either going to have to get physical or have a machine do the heavy lifting for you. I did not want a machine driving around the area where I am putting these things, and its so much more fun to see if you can do it all yourself. The building on stilts is also on a steep hill for added complication, there is no way I could get a digger there even if I wanted to.

Here is a short video of me moving a rock or two and making a foundation.

Rolling some stones down the hill from where they were delivered, then moving them with rails to where the lower space is going to sit. Its about a 50m journey for each stone. Each is a good workout, sometimes i move them in batches.

You have to stay very present moving rocks or these things can break you very easily. Your body alignments have to be spot on when you lift or things in you pop. Also if the stone starts going to wrong way, you need to get out of there. Sometimes they really do have a life of their own… stone respect is a must.

But back to the training, it certainly changes your perspective.. When you live in a city and work on a PC, you work out to keep fit.. now I am discovering that I think the other way round, I need to plan when my body is rested and strong enough to move rocks again.. No longer does it make sense to wear out my body lifting weights when I could be move a rock and getting something real done. Its interesting and fun to have that physical reality based orientation appear in this way in my life.

I found a feature of relationships that appears to be a sign they are working
really well. I call it the breath of the relationship. I discovered that often people don't feel comfortable allowing a relationship to fully breathe and instead prefer to be with a stuck or dead relationship. When there is no breath there is no
life, or more realistically, when the breath is limited, the life is limited.

What do I mean here?

For me there is a cycle to how a relationship flows and transforms, developing
through phases in a cyclical fashion, each cycle beginning with a birth phase,
proceeding with a consolidation and ending with a death phase. After the death,
the cycle can restart. If this cycle is allowed to regularly progress through
all its stages, then the relationship is alive and exciting, producing positive
growth for everyone involved. A dead relationship is one that allows the people
involved to stay the same and not grow and develop, so really a dead
relationship can only be had by dead people. What I mean by dead people are
those who have become numbed to the flow of life that runs through them, this
numbness is supported by external stimulations which I call addictions. Addictions
provide the numb person more of the ups and downs of the life that has been shut
off. Addictions are often drama based, arguments and wars in relationships to
me are a form of addiction to replace life (so are real wars for a whole society), and so are drugs, tv, work addiction
and internet addictions.

People who want to stay dead (consciously or more often unconsciously) will not
want to have a live relationship that breathes and will not be interested in
any of this discussion. But for living people I think it is helpful to
understand the living dead. Dead people are very attracted to living people,
physically, emotionally and energetically. They are attracted and literally
want to 'get' the energy of a living person. I believe this is why the vampire
story is so prevalent in our culture. We live in a world of the undead, the
'living dead' person. While our society continues to educate kids into
numbness, we will have a world full of living dead energy vampires looking for
live force to feed on. It’s good to see how death can work next to life,
especially if we are healing the dead parts of ourselves.

So how does this breathing work?

Two people meet and there is a strong attractive force between them. This force
is created out of a yin yang polarity, the dynamic force of polarity between
the intrinsic natures of each person in a couple. This force propels the couple
forward in a growth driven motion. This is the birth phase, the fresh and
exciting 'shared' discovery of new territory through reflection. (By reflection
I mean seeing new/deeper aspects of oneself through experience with another who
communicates it in some way, often non verbally).

After some period of time, which can be days, weeks or sometimes even months
this territory becomes known and understood, and there is a consolidation
period. The reflections are better understood and integrated with the support
of the others presence. This consolidation can be wonderful if it is shared
consciously, but in my experience it is often not for a key reason. The shared
awareness of consolidation in a relationship brings with it the shared
awareness of possible ending and this can bring up fear. To me it is this fear
of ending that leads to relationship plateau or deadness in the relationship.
It is because people fear the death of the relationship that the relationship
becomes stuck and dead.

I found three places where I have seen things get stuck for different reasons:

1. Rushing the birth phase. Aiming to get to consolidation way too quickly.
2. Not admitting consolidation. The birth phase was really great and
wanting it to just keep going.
3. Avoiding death. Not wanting to face and truly be with each other in the
possible ending.

1. Fear of the birth seems to stem from the unknown newness, it is fear of the
amount of raw energy that is coming up and moving inside one. I have
noticed this as a constant want to move to a place of security where we know we
are 'together'. This security is often established with expected guarantees of
in the form of ideas about seeing each other, 'being together' or some monogamy
agreement etc. To me these guarantees are never really what the fear is
about deep down; they are simply ways to hide from it. Avoiding this creative
birth energy is avoidance of being present in the here and now with someone. At
the end of the day it is fear of one’s own sexual energy that drives a rush to
'tone it down' and be safe with someone. If you are seeing this happening
in someone you are relating to I would recommended you stay honest and true to
what feels right for you, ie don’t provide any guarantees unless they feel absolutely true for you. If you do to 'make someone feel better' you are
already manipulating your life, you have already entered into a lie. Lies are a
good way to support deadness in a relationship and in you. More TV comes next.

2. Fear of consolidation I have already covered. I would recommend exploring it
in whatever way is true for you. Most importantly keep aware of the hovering
spectre of death! If you can talk and share it consciously, it can't move into
the unconscious. Make it your friend, learn about it and come to know it as OK.
(In fact you don't even need to talk about it if you are super aware of it in
yourself, but sometimes it can really help another if they are not used to this
level of presence in a relationship. And in any good relationship helping
another is simply helping yourself.)

3. Avoiding death. I already covered; this seems to happen by getting stuck in
the consolidation phase. How many drama addictions in relationship are really
just about this avoidance, creating an energy dynamic to try and feel more
alive, while death is creeping in all the time? If one or both of you are brave enough to consolidate consciously and
not avoid the natural time for an ending, then death will come, and it can come
strong and unpredictably. This death can be the most transformative and
rejuvenating time for a relationship if you make it through, but to make it
through you both need to be able to be present with the possibility of a real
ending of the whole thing. (It can also help to individually clear in the
practicalities of how this can happen, money, house living arrangements etc)

Unless you have experienced this directly yourself it’s hard to get across
really how it feels. I have sometimes experienced this as often as every week.
One moment a powerful wave of everything falling away comes through both of us.
Its a bit of a shock sometimes. I call it a letgo, you just have to let go and
ride it. I think the key is the ability for both of you to stay fully present
with yourself on your own, while you are with the person you love, knowing absolutely
it could be over. This can only happen if there is no game, done in truth and
honesty of really being with the other, while letting them be free to go. The
love and gratitude you can feel for each other often magnifies. Its like a
reset button has been hit, let it reset fully in the death of letgo and
discover what you both feel on the other side. Its a ride.

There are only two outcomes of this, a good clean ending or an instant new
birth phase and the cycle beginning again on a whole new level.

This is the breathing cycle of relationships to me. I keep seeing this cycle in
holographic ways in all aspects of life, it is the cycle of life; things come
together and then move apart. These cycles happen in all sorts of ways in a relationship, big and small cycles all interweave the hologram, but the features remain the same. Let your own relationships breathe more and I reckon
those relationships can be more alive.

The great relationships in my life are the ones where
this cycle continues. With no holding on, how long i don’t know, experienced
as a fantastic surprise that a person continues to reappear to me. Well there is
often some holding on, but I discover that holding in the consolidation, then grow and release it as death rides
through. I rediscover what was truly always there is me.

It is looking fairly clear to me now that as a race we are heading
for an interesting split in our evolutionary tree. I think we can
predict a few interesting branches in our evolutionary timeline.

I had some fun with this one, but I think it can be quite a divisive subject, and it certainly will have very real political and cultural implications. Really even the discussion about GM food falls under the issue.

Who Wants to be Part Robot

The first split will be defined on either side by those willing to be
implanted with technology devices and those who do not want to be
implanted.

This is an easy call right now, as those willing to be implanted is
going a close subset of the community that presently spends most of
their time plugged into mobile devices. This demographic is already
in effect a partial implanted set, on a psychological level. The
switch to permanent access for some will be seen as minor, it will be understood as simply an 'upgrade'.

The scifi term for a technically enhanced human is a cyborg, a cybernetic enhanced human. Scifi writers expected coming cyborg
races to emerge through technology developments that would be based
around physical enhancements, both in the field of medical repair
(like the bionic man) and for enhanced performance eg for military
means.

It is already clear that the military is skipping the cyborg
step and taking the leap to full robotic armies. Robot soldiers are
much easier to mass produce and faster to replace with new models,
there are none of the issues of biological time for growth and
training to deal with. Drones are in live field in many parts
of the Middle East today, and two-legged and four-legged robot
soldiers are in development to be seen on the battlefield within 5 or
so years.

I believe the battlefield itself has been a computer game for a while
already. It's only the 'execution on the ground' part that now
remains to be fully automated, then the human is made redundant
(except as the victim). I think now the most important military technology has become the code used to command
and execute a cyber war. It is way more easy to hack into and take
control of a robot army than to bother fighting it. Drones and missiles have
already been overtaken by hacker groups and will be again. The US
is now known to be the biggest source of cyber attacks world wide,
both for commercial and military gain. This seems to be the way of
it now as was predicted by many long ago..

But back to us as a race. These developments are already having a
massive effect on us. There will be no more jobs in manual labor over the coming few decades. All the talk you hear about unemployment
is not going to change, and i expect there is going to be much much more of it. There is simply is no more 'work' at least in the sense of that old school manual stuff, left to do.

Japan is well on the way to creating a fully robotic sub-class to
pick up all the manual labor of their society. China, the world's
manufacturing base, is also hot on the trail. While suffering workers
shortages, many of the top manufacturing companies have already
started aggressively moving to fully robotize their production lines.

So us funny humans are left twiddling our thumbs and looking at
screens. I am certain at least a chunk of us is going to take the
cyborg route, and will upgrade to an implant version of their phone
at some point.

NUIs

Up until recently the cutting edge of computer 'user interfaces' or
UI was the graphical user interfaces seen on phones, Apple and Microsoft devices. Graphical UI's (GUI's), originally mouse driven,
have recently entered into a phase of rapid evolution, becoming more
touch and gesture driven.

Touch interfaces are often augmented with gesture sensitive systems
to drive command sets from the user. Taking a further step,
technology already exists for both neurologically projecting a
graphical image into a human brain, as well as neurologically reading
commands from a user brain back into the computer. I call this type
of human computer interface a NUI for 'Neurological User Interface'.

I believe NUI's will replace GUI's within the next 10 or so years.

(This technology has already been used, for example in fighter jets
being piloted via such neuro connected systems. But these have
already become redundant for military use as it is now dumb to put a
pilot in a jet, when a jet can be replaced by a fleet of drones
controlled by a far more advanced artificial intelligence computer
system)

Evolutionary Branching

Technology based evolutionary branching of our society has already
started and been detected in heavy computer or smartphone users..

The present set of smartphone junkies is in a full evolutionary
shift, with real measurable changes happening right now. But I
believe the point where this will kick in at an even greater level is
when we start implanting NUI devices. From this point on, different
human traits become more important and relevant to an implantee than
to a non-implantee, this will strongly drive evolutionary change in
different directions for the two branches of humans.

I call call the emerging race of NUI implantees NUIBorgs or just NUIBs.

However, there is a second evolutionary branch, that will overtake
the NUIBs, that I find more exciting. The NUIBs will come from
heavy use of neuro interface implants, but there is the possibility
to interface with technology on a superior level to the neuro based
interface. For me the next, more superior wave of technology after
NUIs is Psychic or Psy level interfacing, enabling a technology skip
of the primitive neural interfaces.

I define the difference between Neuro and Psy based interfaces as how
deep the interface goes into ones intent. Neuro interfaces read and
write to the areas of the brain relevant to motor or emotional
response. Whereas Psy level interfacing goes much deeper to
communicate on levels of intent.

Consciousness

Our science is struggling with the concept of non-local
consciousness. Up until recently, science thought of consciousness as
a 'local' phenomena that only existed 'in' the brain. But science is
being assaulted by a barrage of data from diverse fields that all
show this view to be inaccurate.

I will leave it to you to explore this, but in summary, it is now
fairly clear that the 'neurological brain' is simply a receiving
device for consciousness, not the source of consciousness. This opens
up the 'technology' sphere to create all manner of devices including
consciousness receivers, transponders, reflectors and transformers
all of which I believe will come about as we begin to more tangibly
grasp the science of consciousness (as opposed to the science of neurology) and put it to work.

At this point the NUIBs will have a potentially competing
evolutionary line to theirs that can emerge from the group that are
averse to implants. Humans that got neuro systems will have evolved
themselves down a branch that can be superseded by the new emerging
Psy human branch. Sure it 'may' be possible for NUIBs to shift to Psy
based systems but this really depends how far down that evolutionary
line they have gone. The main issue I see with the NUIB rout is one
of continuing and increased desensitization from the connected
requirement to heavy stimuli, eg bigger special effects, stronger
sound effects. These take their toll on sensitivity.

Which is for you ?

The fact that consciousness is non-local means that communication can
happen at a distance between human and device. No implant required.

I have heard some say this was one of the ancient technologies of
Atlantis. I can't confirm that, but I can say from experience
that crystals can be effected by consciousness and vice versa.

Also obviously our planet is crystalline in nature, it
has a synergistic effect on us and us on it. This means we are on
some level in communication with it, something many indigenous
cultures are well aware of, as well as many wisdom traditions.

Modern westerners have become pretty numb to nature, but many seem to
be able to make the consciousness leap when they take the right
chemicals. I don't think you need the chemicals, but they can help
some of us remember what is real and that's got to be a good thing.

Maybe you could call it 'evolution' when we get the hang of this, but
really its just a new remembering of what we forgot.

As mainstream society learns about Bitcoin and what it offers I seriously think we could be looking at the biggest bank run in human history. The end of banking as the system of creating and controlling money.

When mainstreamers start to trust the Bitcoin block chain (the anonymous cryptographic peer to peer network that stores the bitcoin transactions) Why would there not be the biggest bank run the world has ever seen ?

Bitcoin has two risks to always be aware of 1. that the protocol could be compromised in some way , and 2. that you could loose your password.

But the longer it stays up, the trust will continue to grow. This trust will reach a point where it surpasses the trust that people have in banks and governments. That is the tipping point I am talking about.

I believe fiat currencies (debt based currencies backed by many governments) are in a slow dying process. I don't think they are a useful or valid concept in our modern world. The more you understand how they truly function, the more I think you would agree with me.

Bitcoin is forcing people to look at how money works. What people find when they look is not so pretty.

Fiat currencies are inflated unpredictably, the process known as debasement. The question is, why would anyone leave their value somewhere where it gets worth less and less over time though the debasement of printing more and more money ?

The answer is that they wont, as soon as they know there is a viable alternative its over.

Also the fact (that many are unaware of) that money in the traditional Fiat system has interest due on it, is an additional form of robbery from the people in the system. I call it a form of robbery as many don't know or understand that their value is being taken from them both by this means and by that of debasement.

Traditionally the only alternative to this Fiat system was gold. But gold can not be traded easily long distance and is heavy and physical, the banks had it their way in history.

I hope its obvious to you in this light that it is only a matter of time before we shift to better systems of value representation as a replacement to the current banking system.

Fiatleak is a fun site that in real time shows the worlds fiat money moving to Bitcoin.

Taking this further, as I covered in my infostate post it is my belief that over a longer period of time 'nations' of the future will be bounded not by borders but by the use of a common crypto currencies. The features of which will embody the policies that people have already agreed on by virtue of choosing those currency 'systems'. No need to vote for one, just start using the features and coin of the 'nation' or nations! that you agree with the thinking on.

Its going to be an exciting few years if this really gets going. As confidence continues drop in the fiat system and continues to grow in block chains, the point will hit where everyone wants to get their hands on what ever is the leading set of virtual currencies, it will be a world wide phenomenon, not a local country based one.

It wont exactly be fair either.. the people who got in early will have a massive advantage. The present money system is hardly fair in this way either. But I do believe that the ability to choose which crypto currency you use, will over time start to balance this out. Add to this the understanding that wars are fought over the right to impose a currency on a society (because of the covert forms of taxation i covered that this enables), and you will better understand what I mean here.

There are some good alternatives to Bitcoin already appearing, I see these as the beginning pillars of new nations of the world. Here is a good list of next generation currencies by market cap in $ or BTC.

In the meantime I would urge everyone to at least understand how to use some crypto currency and ideally get some. The timing of when you get 'in' is a massive factor on how the new wealth will be distributed.

We are in the beginnings of the transfer of wealth into the new paradigm. One where I believe wars and inequality are much harder to exist simply because the monopoly on creating money (the thing of power that everyone used to fight over) is now gone.

I am am so happy you are in my life
I feel like a baby wanting
I am so happy to feel you are there
Though I feel frighted and get lost in my fears
I live to share with you my joy
Yet I fall from the light into dark

My heart fills when I still find you there
I'l give you my heart whilst I laugh

...

Over the years I have been very harsh on myself about making mistakes, trying to be perfect in ones own eyes is such a drag, especially if you think you are quite good at it, and then you fall short. I don't want any more trying to be perfect about anything.

Instead I am learning to be perfect in whatever happens. How big can I screw up and be perfect ? Freedom and self love will dance a merry tune.

Belief

Our beliefs create our reality, they are the cognitive framework from which we experience everything..

Our reality (as perceived through our beliefs) forms the world we create to live in tomorrow, no one consciously does anything that does not fit their reality..

Hence, the integrity of our beliefs today will determine the integrity and quality of our survival tomorrow.

The beliefs you have are what brought you this world today.. you want a better world ? it is time to challenge and change your beliefs !

god

Ask most people to describe god, sit back and watch as they list their own idealised self projections.

The 'god' vulnerability

Any human that believes any other human can define god for them, has the god vulnerability, they have chosen to be controlled by others and have given up their self responsibility.

Religion

religion is the hierarchical command system for motivating groups of humans which operates though the god vulnerability. A systematized herding mechanism, often based on guilt and fear.
